<h1>Yoke</h1>

|
||
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019">coronavirus</a> had caught us all by surprise<br />
|
||
We thought that by our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity">faith</a> in Jesus Christ<br />
|
||
The virus wouldn’t <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_lockdowns">affect</a> so many lives<br />
|
||
But here we are, like a dog being bitten by lice<br />
|
||
A lice that doesn’t care about our cries
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The plague revealed our <a href="https://yourstory.com/2020/04/coronavirus-pandemic-tells-story-humanity">wrongs</a><br />
|
||
The heart of the state, the hierarchy, turned out to be <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/04/06/covid-19-and-the-failures-of-capitalism/">cold</a><br />
|
||
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism">Capitalism</a> is a parasite that limits the masses’ growth<br />
|
||
We had become slaves to this system that is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_capitalism">old</a><br />
|
||
It is now that this injustice shall be overthrown by our <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yoke#Verb">yoke</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
But before <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution">that</a>, there’s a priority task that needs to be done<br />
|
||
Billions of people, this <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus">code</a> had slapped into the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death">gone</a><br />
|
||
As rational beings, we must <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-isolation">stay inside our house</a><br />
|
||
Not only for safety, but as solidarity to our <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_deaths">fallen</a> loved ones<br />
|
||
For when we finally win this fight, from the ashes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism">yesterday</a> we will rebuild into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism">something</a> we all love.
|
||

|
||
More praise to the scientists’ genius works<br />
|
||
More power to those in construction work<br />
|
||
Give thanks to those who risk their lives as a nurse<br />
|
||
Salute to the medical doctors who lead this effort<br />
|
||
And most importantly, let us not forget to pray to Jesus Christ our Lord.
